Hey guys,

I need your input on something that happened while driving my car. I was at a red light waiting to make a left turn. As the light turned green, i proceeded and made the left turn. At this point i had already shifted to second gear. All of a sudden, a BMW X5 which was on the lane next to me going the same direction was beside me. It seemed as if they wanted to race because the girls in it stepped on it. Anyhow, i decided to step on it to while in 2nd gear. Not paying attention to my revs, all of a sudden, i hear the motor cutting out and i looked at my revs and it was at 8200revs/min(Fuel cut off) where then i quickly shifted to 3rd gear. I saw the needle bounce a few times before i shifted to 3rd gear. I've never done this before so i am scared i might have damaged something. I have an 02 type-s with 50000miles(82000kms). You guys think i might have done something wrong? Any concrete advice is greatly appreciated.

hahaha. Guys, i appreciate your feedback, but if you have a smart ass comment to make then i'd prefer you to keep it to yourself. I'm not here to be judged nor am i here to judge people. I have a problem and that's the only reason why i come here to seek advice and nothing else. Thanks for your inputs

Damn whats with the negative comments? Hey man your car is fine. Get used to the negativity here. People here are going to think they are better than those with less than 9999999999 posts like those who said fuck you to you. Unlike them who stay online 24/7 (obviously to have so many posts) there are people who have a life and not just sit here and study their cars. lol
